A court sketch of Rolf Harris from two days ago. Harris is appearing via videolink at Southwark Crown Court charged with historic assaults

The complainant, who has spoke about the incident during counselling sessions, contacted the NSPCC after Harris had been sentenced in 2014.

He is now standing trial via video link from HMP Stafford – a legal first – after claiming he will be too ‘ill, tired, or hungry’ if he has to attend Southwark Crown Court in person.

Jurors heard the defendant was jailed for five years and nine months in 2014 after being convicted of sexually assaulting four victims, the youngest aged just seven, between 1968 and 1986.

He now denies seven counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual assault against seven complainants who were contacted by police and the NSPCC in the wake of publicity surrounding his first trial.

The court heard this trial involves accusations of ‘unwanted groping’ by Harris, who is said to have fondled the alleged victims’ breasts and private parts while other people were nearby.

Among his alleged victims are a blind woman who claims he ‘slobbered’ over her.

Two of the complainants are said to have branded the entertainer a ‘dirty old man’, while witnesses to the incidents dubbed him ‘creepy, cringing and lecherous’.

Harris, formerly of Maidenhead, Berks, denies seven counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.

The trial continues.
